BRITISH STANDARD
National foreword
This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN ISO 15614-1:2017.
It supersedes BS EN ISO 15614-1:2004+A2:2012, which is withdrawn.
BSI, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 15614-1:2017 as a
British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during
the development of this standard, the UK committee voted against
its approval.
The UK committee is concerned that the format of this standard may
cause a problem when working to either of the two welding procedure
test levels. Level 1 is based on the requirements of ASME BPVC Section
IX,
, and Level 2, for which
the extent of testing is greater, is based on the previous version of this
standard; BS EN ISO 15614-1:2004+A2:2012. It is important to note
Welding, Brazing, and Fusing Qualifications
that a procedure test carried out to Level 2 automatically qualifies for
Level 1 requirements, but not vice-versa. Furthermore, when no level is
specified in a contract or application standard, all the requirements o f
Level 2 should be applied.
Users should be aware that, as the requirements of the two levels are
o ften specified in the same clause, vigilance is required to identi fy the
testing requirements and the range o f qualification for the particular
welding procedure test level.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical
Committee WEE/3 6, Qualification o f welding personnel and
welding procedures.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions
of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

Separate welding procedure quali fications are required for each parent material or parent material

Type of current
The quali fication is given for the type of current [alternating current (AC), direct current (DC), pulsed
current] and polarity used in the welding procedure test. For process 111, alternating current also
quali fies direct current (both polarities) unless impact testing is required.

Heat input (arc energy)
The heat input can be replaced by arc energy (J/mm). The arc energy shall be calculated in accordance
with ISO/TR 18491. When using the calculation for the heat input, the k-factor according to
ISO/TR 17671-1 shall be considered. The kind of calculation, either heat input or arc energy, shall be

For level 1: When impact requirements apply, the For level 2: When impact requirements apply, the
upper limit of heat input quali fied is the maximum upper limit of the heat input quali fied is 25 %

For process 111, the heat input may also be measured by the run out length per unit length of electrode.
When the welding time is too short and when the length of the weld is not signi ficant (e.g. for small
repair, for tack welds), the heat input need not to be veri fied; only the adjustable parameters should be
checked like amperage and/or voltage.
Arc energy and heat input are measures of the heat generated by the arc. Whereas, in the past, these
were different terms for the same measure, they are now calculated in different ways. Either arc energy
or heat input may be used for welding control, calculated in accordance with ISO/TR 18491.
